EASTERN LEAGUE SOUTH had three hits and
Ed Delahanty (15),
Andre Dawson (18) and
Dustin Pedroia (2) homered for the Sounds as they pulled even with the Orcas atop the division in the first game of this huge three-game set.
Kevin Tapani (17-11, 4.66) always seems to get support, and this was no exception.
Jamie Moyer (9-8, 4.65) took the loss for Orlando.
Barry Bonds drove in three for the Orcas in the loss.
WESTERN LEAGUE SOUTH
San Antonio 5, Phoenix 4. Kevin Mitchell broke a 4-4 tie in the 8th with an RBI double off Sean Marshall and the Stallions pulled to within a half game of the Scorpions. Carlos Gomez hit his 20th homer for San Antonio, whose improbable run continues. The Stallions led 4-0 after five but Phoenix stormed back on two-run hits from Frank Chance and Todd Helton, who leads the Western League in RBIs with 97. Dick Radatz won his eighth in relief and Greg Holland picked up save number 36.
